https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7268 <p> Hello, </p> <p> Let me start with an example : For 1992, boost::datetime gives me (using the given timezone database) DST period from 1992-Mar-29 02:00:00 TO 1992-Oct-25 03:00:00 </p> <p> That's simply wrong. For 1996 and following years, it's correct, simply because, in 1996, France decided that DST occurs in the end of October. Before that date, it occured in the end of September. </p> <p> Here is a table of true DST dates (dates are in European form, "day/month") : </p> <pre class="wiki">1976 : 28/3 -- 26/9 1977 : 3/4 -- 5/9 1978 : 2/4 -- 1/10 1979 : 1/4 -- 30/9 1980 : 6/4 -- 28/9 1981 : 29/3 -- 27/9 1982 : 28/3 -- 26/9 1983 : 27/3 -- 25/9 1984 : 25/3 -- 30/9 1985 : 31/3 -- 29/9 1986 : 30/3 -- 28/9 1987 : 29/3 -- 27/9 1988 : 27/3 -- 25/9 1989 : 26/3 -- 24/9 1990 : 25/3 -- 30/9 1991 : 31/3 -- 29/9 1992 : 29/3 -- 27/9 1993 : 28/3 -- 26/9 1994 : 27/3 -- 25/9 1995 : 26/3 -- 24/9 ================ 1996 : 31/3 -- 27/10 1997 : 30/3 -- 26/10 1998 : 29/3 -- 25/10 1999 : 28/3 -- 31/10 2000 : 26/3 -- 29/10 2001 : 25/3 -- 28/10 2002 : 31/3 -- 27/10 2003 : 30/3 -- 26/10 2004 : 28/3 -- 31/10 2005 : 27/3 -- 30/10 2006 : 26/3 -- 29/10 2007 : 25/3 -- 28/10 2008 : 30/3 -- 26/10 2009 : 29/3 -- 25/10 2010 : 28/3 -- 24/10 2011 : 27/3 -- 30/10 </pre><p> Thank you, Guillaume </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7268 Trac 1.4.3
